I endorse maximizing the degree to which people consider my saying X is true to be evidence that I believe X is true. I don’t worry too much about the degree to which people consider my belief that X is true to be evidence that X is true. I expect that depends a whole lot on specifics of X. I resent questions that wrap themselves in framings like “don’t just consider the obvious points.” I endorse you having private conversations with the folks you consider worthy, rather than having obscure public ones like this. The rest of us might not have whatever attributes would allow us to penetrate the cloud of obfuscation and thereby receive your insights, but that doesn’t mean we deserve to have our time wasted.
